Chapter 869: My Daughter @Ling Sheng

“What did you say?” Lu Yubai was confused too. What did this have to do with Sheng Sheng? In the next moment, his pupils constricted swiftly as he asked in disbelief, “Sixth Brother, who do you think Sheng Sheng is?”

Jiang Zhe’s body stiffened, and his voice tensed up. “Sheng Sheng is your daughter?”

No wonder!

No wonder he had felt a sense of familiarity the first time he had seen that child. He had felt that he resembled her.

So it was her child.

However, why had the child she had spent so much effort to save ended up wandering outside?

Exactly what had happened back then? Given her personality, she definitely wouldn’t let go no matter what once she had decided to keep the child!

In order to commemorate her, she had even set up a fashion brand under her name. Everything indicated that she did not know that the child from back then was still alive in this world!

“Sixth Brother, what do you plan to do?” Rong Yin paused for a long time before speaking.

Who would have expected that after more than 20 years of twists and turns, their relationship still couldn’t be cut and was such a mess? Sheng Sheng was actually his and Nangong’s daughter!

Love and fate were destined.

Huo Ci did not know. His emotions were very complicated, and his mind was in a mess. He did not know how to deal with this.

He only knew one thing.

When it came to that brat.

He definitely would not back down!

Ling Sheng had initially planned to pack up and go to the cemetery to see her foster mother after she got home. She had only come to take a look. They would spend the night at her hometown and go back early the next morning. She had even promised her grandparents to go to the Su Family!

The local worship was still the same as in the past. They set off firecrackers, and burned paper money, and ingots. She had brought her foster mother’s favorite fruits and desserts and even made a few signature dishes.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there were actually people in the cemetery. It looked very festive and lively. From afar, one could see a pair of new people in festive clothes. They had come to report the good news to their ancestors. There were also a lot of people accompanying them. They were burning Xi paper[1]. It was a local custom.

When they passed by, an old lady wearing a festive traditional Chinese outfit with a red flower on her chest walked over with a walking stick. She smiled at her. “Sheng Sheng, the two of you came home to see your mother. Oh, Xiaoqi has grown up.”

Xiaoqi greeted her crisply. “Hi, Grandma Lin.”

Upon hearing Xiaoqi’s shout, Ling Sheng looked at the old lady in front of her. She remembered that he was a grandma who had a good relationship with her foster mother. His surname was Lin. She smiled and asked, “Grandma Lin, what’s this?”

“My grandson will get married tomorrow and bring my granddaughter-in-law over to burn some xi paper. Your husband sure treats you well. Your mother should be relieved,” Grandma Lin even deliberately praised Jun Shiyan and smiled at him. “You’re not bad, young man. Take good care of our Sheng Sheng. Sheng Sheng is a good child.”

Jun Shiyan smiled and nodded.

Nangong Lengyu looked at the old lady. She kept feeling that the old lady looked at Ah Yan as though she knew him. Had Ah Yan accompanied Sheng Sheng in the past?

Upon seeing the old lady act so familiar with him, Ling Sheng frowned strangely and pointed at Jun Shiyan. “Grandma, do you know him?”

“Do you really think I’m an old fool?” Grandma Lin was unhappy as she looked at Jun Shiyan. “Isn’t he your husband? Although Grandma is old, my memory is good. When your mother passed away, he was the one who accompanied you. He was also the one who organized your mother’s funeral. He’s Xiaoqi’s father and your husband.”

Ling Sheng gave Jun Shiyan a complicated look, not knowing what she was feeling at the moment. Her and the Third Master? When her mother died, she had organized a funeral? When had that happened? Don’t try and fool her. “Grandma Lin, is what you said true?”

“What’s wrong with you?” Grandma Lin looked at her strangely. “Don’t tell me you’re more forgetful than me. It’s him. Your husband. He’s so handsome. How could Grandma mistake him for someone else?”

Upon hearing the old lady’s words, Ling Sheng’s mind was in a mess. Exactly what was going on in this book world? She refused to believe it. She turned around and pointed at Nangong Lengyu. “Then, Grandma, do you know her?”

Grandma Lin took a closer look and shook her head. However, she still held her hand affectionately. “You should be Sheng Sheng’s mother-in-law. You’re really young and pretty. One look and I can tell that you’re a gentle and kind child. Our Sheng Sheng is a bitter child, but she’s sensible and obedient. You have to treat her well.”

Nangong Lengyu smiled and explained, “Auntie, I’m not her mother-in-law. I’m her mother, her biological mother.”

Grandma Lin gave her a shocked look. “You’re Sheng Sheng’s mother? Didn’t Sheng Sheng go to find her father?”

They all knew that Sheng Sheng was not Shuyuan’s biological daughter but had been adopted by her. When Shuyuan’s daughter was two years old, she had gotten into an accident with her man and passed away. Later, she had said that she had gone to seek refuge with her uncle. She had only left for half a year when she had returned with a child. That was Sheng Sheng.

However, not many people in town knew that Shuyuan was not Sheng Sheng’s biological mother. They all said that she had gone crazy after her daughter had died. She went out and done something unclean. She had gotten pregnant with a man and brought a girl back. Everyone thought she was her biological daughter.

That child Shuyuan had a good temper and was unwilling to get angry with others. She had never explained before and had treated Sheng Sheng as her biological daughter.

The woman in front of her was Sheng Sheng’s biological mother? She was very pretty and looked kind too. She should not have abandoned her biological daughter. She did not look like a heartless person.

She should not gossip about other people’s family matters. As long as she treated Sheng Sheng well, it would be the same regardless of whether she was her biological mother or foster mother.

“Yes, I found him.” Ling Sheng looked at the old man and smiled. “Grandma, I’ve found my parents. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely live well in the future.”

Grandma Lin felt a little emotional. Her eyes reddened as she held her hand and nodded repeatedly. “Okay, good. Sheng Sheng, it’s good that you’re fine. Your mother’s spirit in heaven should be at ease too.”

Ling Sheng said, “Grandma, they’re calling for you.”

Grandma Lin pulled on her hand, reluctant to leave. “Sheng Sheng, your family doesn’t have to cook tonight. Come to my house to eat. Grandma’s house is holding a banquet. Just treat it as a gathering.”

Ling Sheng definitely had to go. Grandma Lin still remembered it now, but she might not remember it at night again. She was like the grandma next door and the grandma in the Maldives. “Okay, Grandma. We’ll definitely go over tonight.”

When the people on the other side saw Ling Sheng and the others, the middle-aged man even smiled and nodded at Ling Sheng. He shouted, “Sheng Sheng, we’re going home. Come to Uncle’s house to eat tonight. Your family can come along.”

However, who was the man beside Sheng Sheng? Had she not seen him before? Was he her new boyfriend?

Ling Sheng nodded and thanked him with a smile. Actually, the hearts of the people in this small town were very pure. If they treated you well, they treated you well. If they looked down on you, they looked down on you. There was no hiding it.

On the other hand, the number of people who liked their family and treated them well could be counted on one hand. Grandma Lin’s whole family was quite nice. They did not look down on them just because her foster mother was a widow raising a daughter who had gotten pregnant before marriage. Instead, they often helped them. They were very kind.

Jun Shiyan had made a trip outside with Xiaoqi and had seen many people along the way. When they saw Xiaoqi, few people did not point at him. Their gazes were strange, and there were even half-grown children who stopped him and called him a wild child.

He could imagine what kind of treatment the mother and son received and how much disdain they would receive when they lived there.

However, he also saw that there were still people who treated them well. At least in this world, not everyone was completely indifferent or showed abnormal discrimination. There were still good people.

He was very grateful that when they were in trouble, someone would lend them a helping hand and pull them up.

The family walked toward the tombstone. Ling Sheng’s phone rang. It was Shi Lingyu. Her roar nearly deafened her. “Okay, Ling Sheng. If you don’t explain yourself clearly today, I won’t let you off. Huo Ci is your father! What’s going on?”

“Speak nicely. Who did you hear that from?” Ling Sheng was dumbfounded. What did she mean by Huo Ci was her father? How did she know? Who had leaked the secret? Could Fifth Uncle have told Sister Su Yi? And then Sister Su Yi told her?

Shi Lingyu vented her anger. How fantastic! Huo Ci was her father. Her Old Huo was Sheng Sheng’s father. Her Old Huo had a daughter and even a grandson!

As Little Cis, they had been worrying about him every day, urging him to get married. Why the h*ll did they urge him? He had silently given them such a big “surprise”! Countless sisters had already fainted from crying!

Not even in her dreams had Ling Sheng expected that on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, before the vacation had come to an end… After the scandal about #Ling Sheng and Huo Ci’s secret marriage and child# on New Year’s Eve, which was less than a week ago, she would reach the top of the hottest headlines.

The moment she saw Weibo, Ling Sheng felt that the world had gone crazy. Had her father gone crazy? Or had she gone crazy?

Huo Ci: Let me introduce you officially. My daughter @Ling Sheng.
